getSelectedObjects should never return the empty list.  If anything it 
should return your main editpart (your drawing).

try

    ActionRegistry registry = getActionRegistry();
    IAction action;
    action = new CopyAction(this);
    registry.registerAction(action);
    getSelectionActions().add(action.getID());
